Here I am,
You don't have to worry, I can see your tears
I'll be there in a hurry when you call
Friends are there to catch you when you fall
Here's my shoulder; you can lean on me.
----

...Sadly, if I try to fall now [like it says in the quote]; the only thing that's gunna catch me is- unfortunately- the floor.
...Aand maybe the corner of the computer desk, on my way down.

So that's a no-go, then.

I am dead tired.
We had ballgames for morning training, intensive-type ballgames for P.E; and then I rushed to canoeing training; and then rushedddddd to worship practice. And all the while my stomach was hurting awfully; 'cuz I had forgotten that I wouldn't have time to eat before canoeing, and I had only ingested fruits and a measly bottle of measly 100plus.
...Which lasted me 'til after ten at night; I had a light supper, but my stomach started protesting and hurting so much more because of the food, and then in the end I couldn't keep all of it down anyway. :/

[And yes, I know children are starving in Africa/Pakistan/India/countryofchoice here...but it's not as if I could help it, y'know. Try talking to your gut and just see if it actually listens to you!]

Training today was good, though. I took a K2 with Mr.Yong; which was freaky at first because I was already dead before training started, and I was wondering just how much MORE dead I could get. [predicted that I'd probably be undead by the time training ended]
Surprisingly, though; it turned out to be quite an accomplishment. It was my 2nd time on a K2, and Mr.Yong hadn't taken a K out for some time...but the both of us diddddddd it. :] It really helped raise my confidence in myself and my canoeing abilities(?) yeah, and when Mr.Yong commented that "if the juniors had been here today and had watched our boat; they would have learnt a lot about canoeing"...I dunno. It just made me feel like whacking everysingletrainingsession.

...Which, of course, is what I should do.
But that's besides the point- the point being that it was a rad learning curve for me, and I told Mr.Yong [when he commended me in the boat] that it was mainly 'cuz I have had such great seniors, so's. :] Thank you, seniors.

...And Austin.
I know y'all are dyyyying to hear about him. [the girls, in any case.]
Okay.
If you've watched "Yours, Mine, and Ours"; there's this dark-haired teenage guy [not Josh] who acts as the son of the dad. YOU KNOW. That dark-eyed, dark-haired hottie. [...the son, not the dad.]
...Now add a Brentwood High School football shirt to that, and blue eyes...and walla. Instant Austin.
We met when I was holidaying with my family in Phuket. He was playing pool in the Kids' Club with some random Irish doods; and then the hotel tennis coach goes, "Hey, Austin. Whydoncha teach this young lady how to play pool as well?"

And Austin looks at me, grins, and goes, "Yeah, 'kay."
So we play pool, and stuff... although technically, he was the only one playing the pool. I was just poking the stick around the green fluff and hitting all the balls I shouldn't hit.
And after a rather one-sided game of pool between us two [he ended up having to do most of my turns for me...against himself]; we decide to go mosey around the hotel.

...So yeah, we did. For an entire day. We talked and walked and played in the sea and drew sand-pictures; and he met my mum. [who, unfortunately, was having a beach massage at the time.]

I had my fair share of embarrassing moments, too. Like when we waded out of the sea eventually, and I discovered that my skirt WOULD insist on constantly riding downwards. Then I made him hold my handbag and he walked me back to the room so's I could change into cargos... we wait outside my room for aggggges, waiting for my parents to come back from the pool and unlock the door for us.
...Twenty minutes later, we discover that my entire family was inside all along and the door was already unlocked anyway. Slap me, please!

Mmyes. When it comes to Austin, it's terribly easy to get dazzled. Much like Bella and Edward, hee. ...Seriously, I was watching him talk [he was sitting with his back to the sun]; and I swear his eyes looked like the sky. Seriously, they were just THAT blue, and I'm dead jealous.

...I'm not sure if that answers all the questions about Austin. If not, I'll update more another time; and cross my fingers and hope he nevereverever stumbles upon this blog.

I'm off now, loves. I must hit the sack- training tomorrow. ...Le sharpintakeofbreath.
